Is Ugly The New Handsome?

I've always been curious about what it feels like to be a student and go to school, since I haven't ever had the chance. And I thought it was something that I could never find out, since I was clearly over age, when I came back to my parents. 

I used to even ask my little sister about school, which she never said positive things about, and described it like it was some kind of hell on Earth, which made me wonder if it was really that way.

But it seems like, I really don't have to think about it anymore, since I get to experience it myself in this new world, in the body of my past self.

Maybe this is God hearing my doubts, and giving me a chance to find out the answers and experience it myself.

But now that I'm in this world as the protagonist, I wonder when the story will really start off; as in when I will meet the first demi-girl that needs 'saving'.

I already know that most of the encounters I will have with the girls, will take place in this school, since most of them were all students of this school or were related to the school someway, as said in the guidebook.

This was brought out by the strings of fate that act between us, through the power of 'Resonance'. 

Through it, the girls will naturally be guided towards a central hub, where all the girls with powerful bloodlines, can conveniently meet up with me.

Honestly, the girls wouldn't even know, that they have problems with themselves, since the consequences of a bloodline will only truly show itself when the bloodline abilities get stronger, as they grow older.

Right now, all the girls should be living normal, peaceful lives, without even noticing that they were different from the rest. Aside from the fact that boys wouldn't dare to get close to them, and they would always have a feeling of longing, as if there was something out there that was calling towards them.

And the feeling that, most boys their age were scared of them, would feel natural, as most boys in school were actually scared to get too close to girls, since they were mysterious and unpredictable creatures in their eyes. 

As for the craving they would feel, it shouldn't be too strong and would only come once in a while, which they could easily brush off as a mood swing. 

That is, unless the girl meets a person with a more powerful bloodline, and triggers the 'Resonance' effect, which will make it obvious that the person with the stronger bloodline has something they crave and that they must attain it.

So the question now is, whether I will find the girl first or whether she will find me. Or if both of us meet at the same time.

Just as I was pondering over this question in my head, while leaning back on the chair and staring at the ceiling of the classroom, I heard a voice calling out my name, from the right.

"Hey Luca!...I'm talking to you...Can't you hear me? Stop day dreaming and listen to me!" 

The sweet voice seemed to have been calling out to me for quite some time, and was slightly annoyed that I hadn't responded to her.

I was too deep in my thoughts; that I had just noticed her visage by my side, when I turned my head to look.

Standing right next to me was a beautiful girl with long blonde hair that reached her waist, and pretty blue eyes, that twinkled even though she had a displeased expression on her face, as if someone had made her wait in line for quite a while. 

But even though she was frowning, as she stared down at me, it didn't diminish her beauty one bit and only made her look even more gorgeous.

I didn't even need to think twice to say that she was probably the most beautiful girl, I had ever seen in my entire life.

But the problem was that, I didn't actually know if this girl was the most beautiful to ever exist, like I thought.

Or if she was simply a decent looking girl in this world, because of the crazy beauty standards that this world has, to the point, a top-tier model back on earth would only amount to a poster model in this world, according to what I was informed of in the guidebook.

Apparently, all the people in this world, for some reason, have insane genetics that gave almost everyone, a breathtaking appearance, no matter what race they belonged to. 

It was as if everyone in this world was born to be a model or actor, due to their handsome or beautiful appearance.

Even the rest of my classmates in my class were all good-looking, and there wasn't a single mediocre-looking one.

Back on Earth, it was more rare to see a good-looking person, than a person with decent looks. But in this world, you could barely find any ugly-looking people, and even if you did, the people of this world would probably put him on a pedestal, as they believed that below-average-looking people had a sense of asthetic beauty to them, that the common people didn't possess.

This was due to everyone being used to seeing good-looking faces every day, and felt a fresh breath of air, when they saw a below-average-looking person, which they don't normally see, like they were rare animals in the wild.

Back on Earth, I could be considered a very handsome man, who could make the ladies swoon with a single look. But in this world, I was only average compared to other people, which is quite laughable in my opinion.

I actually would have been better off in this world, if I had below-average looks than a handsome one, as most people seem to admire them, as if they were looking at an abstract painting, that they didn't understand from a visual perspective, but for some reason looked really pleasing to the eye.

And this girl to my side, who was wearing the same uniform that all the humans wore; which consisted of a black skirt with silver edges, white t-shirt, and a black blazer, was actually many levels higher in terms of appearance, compared to the rest of the class. 

She was easily the best-looking person I had seen in class or among the students walking outside. And she could easily become Mrs Universe, if she was brought back to earth.

With her long blonde hair, sharp blue eyes, slender figure and flawless skin, she could probably make most of the male population back on Earth, worship her like she was a deity, which made me wonder if she was truly a world-class beauty in this world, just like I thought.

But in my eyes, my sister was the most beautiful and adorable girl to ever exist, so I really wasn't affected by her bewitching appearance too much, and looked at her like any other girl, unlike the others guys in class who were practically drooling at her sight.
